Young Minds in Motion Disciplinary Procedures & Policies
A very important part of the preschool experience is helping children learn how to get along in the world, enjoy being with other children, and follow the direction of an adult other than their parent. A caring and positive approach will be taken regarding behavior management and discipline. The teachers will focus on the positive behaviors of the children and reinforce those behaviors as often as possible. Our goal is to help the children develop self-control and responsibility for their actions.
1. Encouraging children to use their words when having a disagreement with another child facilitating children in their attempts to settle their own disputes.
2. Redirecting behavior when this seems potentially effective.
3. Separating a child from the group (Time-Out) – one minute away for each year of age.
4. Counseling children individually about their behaviors.
5. Making parents aware of disciplinary concerns (Incident Report).
Disruptive Behavior distracts from the full benefit of the preschool program and will result in consequences. The following behaviors are considered disruptive:
• Requires constant attention from the staff
• Inflicts physical or emotional harm on other children, adults, or self
• Disrespects people and materials provided in the program
• Consistently disobeys the rules of the classroom
• Verbally threatens other students and/or staff
• Uses verbal or physical activity that diverts attention away from the group of children.
Discipline Procedures for disruptive behavior
Level 1: Student and teacher discussion, and teacher’s procedure of notification to parent through Kinderlime and phone contact. Teacher discusses behavior with the student and student receives an infraction(s) based on their choice(s). Time outs and sitting out an activity.
Level 2: Student and teacher discussion, student may possibly receive time to think about their choices, as well as teacher’s procedure of notification to parent through the class behavioral
management program.
Level 3: Once a child has served 3 time outs, or 3 parent notifications for behavior, a parent/teacher conference will be arranged to discuss positive solutions.
Level 4: Parent meeting with administration.
Level 5: Suspension –Depending on the infraction (one day up to 5 days).
Level 6: Dismissal -When little or no change is evident, and school personnel have exhausted all available means to affect change, and/or the welfare of the other students is endangered, the student will be expelled. This decision rests with the school administration.
Children cannot become self-disciplined unless adults teach them right from wrong. At Young Minds in Motion, children will be taught the expectations for correct behavior and encouraged to live and act accordingly. When children know something is wrong, and choose to do it
anyway, consequences will follow to communicate that the behavior is not acceptable and will not be tolerated in our school.
Discipline Policy Agreement* I have read Young Minds in Motion Disciplinary Policies and Procedures. I have discussed this with my child and agree to comply with the discipline policies and procedures of Young Minds in Motion
Biting Policy
Although it is not uncommon for very young children to bite, it is a behavior that is taken very seriously, and is strongly discouraged.
When children are older than 24 months, biting is less common. Language is beginning to become the tool of choice, with “No!” and “Mine!” is used most
frequently. These verbal warnings alert the teachers that it may be time to intervene, and redirect the playmates involved in another direction. When an older
child bites, the preschool’s policy is:
1st offense the child who bites will quickly be placed in “Time Out”, while the teacher comforts the child who has been bitten, and attends to
cleaning the bite. Then, the teacher will return to “Time Out” and speak with the offending child about what has happened. The child is reminded that teeth are for eating food & smiling, not for biting. Both sets of parents will
be told of the incident. The parent of the child that bit the other student will be asked to come and pick up the child for early dismissal.
2nd offense The child’s parents will be asked to keep their child at home for 2 days and focus on helping the child understand that biting is unacceptable
3rd offense removal from the program for the remainder of the school year.

Child Illness Policy
On the average, babies experience eight to ten illnesses a year; preschoolers experience almost as many.
We know that managing the demands of work can be challenging when your child is ill. We strive to limit the spread of communicable diseases in our centers and are committed to implementing policies that balance and respect the needs of children, families, and staff in these circumstances. Our Child Illness Policy is based on the Model Health Care Policies developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Young Minds in Motion understands that it is difficult for a parent/guardian to leave or miss work; therefore, it is suggested that alternative arrangements be made for occasions when children must
remain at home or be picked up due to illness. Exclusion from the center is sometimes necessary either to reduce the transmission of illness or because the center is not able to adequately meet the needs of the child. Mild illnesses are common among children, and infections are often spread before the onset of any symptoms. In these cases, we try to keep the children comfortable throughout the day. Reasons Young Minds in Motion may exclude children include (but are not limited to) the following:
• Illness that prevents the child from participating comfortably in program activities, such as going
outdoors.
• Illness that results in a greater need for care than our staff can provide without compromising the health and safety of other children.
• Illness that poses a risk of spread of harmful disease to others
• Severely ill appearance
• Fever of I 00 degrees or above (axillary); IO I or above (orally) or an equivalent measure accompanied by behavior change or other signs and symptoms.
• Fever of I 00 degrees or above (axillary) or IO I or above (orally) in an infant younger than two months; such circumstances should be medically evaluated within an hour
• Fever of I 04° F or greater in a child of any age (requires immediate medical attention)
• Diarrhea; watery stools or decreased form of stool not associated with the change of diet; stool not contained in the diaper; child unable to reach the toilet; or stool frequency that exceeds 2 or more stools above normal for that child.
• Cases of bloody diarrhea and diarrhea caused by Shigella, salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing E coli,
Cryptosporidium or G intestinalis must be cleared for readmission by a health care professional.
• Blood or mucus in the stools not explained by dietary change, medication, or hard stools.
• Vomiting more than 2 times in the previous 24 hours (unless the vomiting is determined to be caused by a
non-communicable condition and the child is not in danger of dehydration).
• Mouth sores with drooling (unless the child's medical provider or local health department authority states that the child is noninfectious).
• Abdominal pain that continues for more than 2 hours; intermittent abdominal pain associated with fever, dehydration, or other signs of illness.
• Rash with fever or behavioral changes (unless a physician has determined it is not a communicable disease).
• Skin sores weeping fluid and on an exposed area that cannot be covered.
• Purulent conjunctivitis (defined as pink or red conjunctiva with white or yellow eye discharge) until on antibiotics
for 24 hours.
• Impetigo until 24 hours after treatment has been started.
• Strep throat (or other streptococcal infection) until 24 hours after treatment has been started.
• Head lice or nits until after the first treatment.
• Rubella, until 7 days after the rash appears.
• Scabies until 24 hours after treatment has been started.
• Chickenpox, until all lesions have dried or crusted (usually 6 days after onset of rash).
• Pertussis (whooping cough) until 5 days of antibiotics.
• Mumps, until 5 days after onset of parotid gland swelling.
• Measles, until 4 days after onset of rash.
• Hepatitis A virus until I week after onset of illness or jaundice or as directed by the health department (if the
child's symptoms are mild).
• Tuberculosis, until the child's medical provider or local health department, states the child is on appropriate
treatment and can return.
• Any child determined by the local health department to be contributing to the transmission of illness during an
outbreak. For your child's comfort, and to reduce the risk of contagion, we ask that children be picked up within 1.5 hours of notification. Until then, your child will be kept comfortable and will continue to be observed for symptoms. Children need to remain home for 24 hours without symptoms before returning to the program unless the center receives a note from the child's medical provider stating that the child is not contagious and may return to the center. A note from the child's medical provider is required before any child can return to school if they have been absent for two consecutive days or more regardless of the illness. Children who have been absent may return when:
• They are free of fever, vomiting, and diarrhea for a full 24 hours.
• They have been treated with an antibiotic for a full 24 hours.
• They are able to participate comfortably in all usual program activities, including outdoor time.
• They are free of open, oozing skin conditions and/or excessive mucus unless
• the child's medical provider signs a note stating that the child's condition is not contagious, and
• the involved areas can be covered by a bandage without seepage or drainage through the bandage.
• For those children previously suffering from diarrhea or excessively lose bowel movements, readmission can
occur when toilet-trained children no longer have toileting accidents and diapered children cease from having
diarrhea. If a child is excluded because of a reportable communicable disease, a note from the child's medical provider stating that the child is no longer contagious is mandatory. Ultimately, the final decision on whether to exclude a child from the program due to illness will be made by the Director at Young Minds in Motion based on the safety or concern for all of the other children.
Note: Please be aware that Notes allowing for a child's return to the center after exclusion due to illness must
originate from the child's medical provider.
A note was written and signed by the child's parent/guardian who is also a physician is not acceptable. Consent I agree with the above terms.
